There has been a lot of talk about “open” lately — open educational resources, open pedagogy, open access, etc. At the SUNYLA 2018 Annual Conference, we will delve into the concept of openness through the more general terms of openly welcoming new ideas, campus partners, materials, and strategies into our libraries. Please join us at Finger Lakes Community College on June 13-15, 2018, as we explore how our academic libraries are pushing the boundaries beyond books and databases and opening new territory both within and beyond our walls.

We invite all SUNY and non-SUNY librarians and staff to submit proposals for pre-conference workshops and conference presentations in the following tracks:

Reference and Instruction

Cataloging and Technical Services

Archives and Special Collections

Systems and Technology

Collection Development

Public Services and Interlibrary Loan

Professional Development

Management and Leadership

Open Educational Resources

Scholarly Communication

If you are not sure which track your presentation would fit into, submit your proposal anyway and we will determine which track would best suit your idea.

Please submit proposals here: Call for Proposals. If you are submitting proposals for multiple workshops or presentations, please fill out a separate form for each.

Reservations for accommodations during conference can be made by visiting the Housing page. Two blocks of hotel rooms will be available at conference rates until 5/11/18. Information on accommodations at the college dorms will be available by the end of January.
